A widely accepted view of automatization holds that … | … we gradually combine individual effortful steps into integrated components until the whole process is only one operation. |
Stroop effect? | WHITE or TWO TWO TWO |
Mistakes vs. slips: | Mistakes involve errors in internal controlled processes. Slips often involve errors in automatic processes. |
Slips associated with automatic processes: | • capture errors • omissions • perservations • description errors • data-driven errors • associative-activation errors • loss-of-activation errors |
How to study things outside the conscious awareness? | with priming |
Blindsight | traces of visual perceptual ability in blind areas |
Priming | participants are presented with a first stimulus (the prime) -> break -> second stimulus and make a judgement Effect of prime on second stimulus? |
